“I was just thinking that if you were active and the server reflects that we might have an alibi.” Said Gwen.

“I doubt it would hold up in court.” Said Victora. “I mean he could have left the game running I mean the murder happened in our house.”

“The video game defense might not hold up in court, but I find that I like tugging at the loose threads. If we can establish that Dill was online at the time of the murder that might lead us to the next question. Pretty soon the whole thing comes unraveled.”
